    My austrolorp chick is kinda skittish..

    She's still super shy. She'll eat out of my hand and come for treats, but if I just touch her, she'll panic. And picking her up is as if she's getting eaten alive. What I think is ironic is she's the top chicken in the pecking order.

    Having a hard time sexing Cochins? This link may help!

    So I'm keeping my eye out every day for Roos in my baby chicks. Already at 3 weeks, my blue Wyandotte is showing signs of being a cockerel, but I'm waiting on my Cochins to show some signs. I was looking for progressive pictures to see what to look for when I came upon this link...

    Already the signs of a roo? This soon?

    I think he's gunna be really pretty too. He's got some dark lacing on the edge of his feathers that the other two don't have quite as much. I won't be able to keep him, so my friend and her kids who show in 4H will be lucky! Maybe he'll be a winner too :)

    Already the signs of a roo? This soon?

    I think I found my first roo! And they're only 3 weeks old. I didn't expect to see any changes already! He's a blue wyandotte and by the way he's been acting, I felt like he was a roo. Now I think it's a good chance he is one. Anyone agree? And to compare, these are my two other Wyandotte...

    My austrolorp chick is kinda skittish..

    Thanks! Do you think I should giver her space or handle her more? I don't want to stress her out and cause her to associate me with that, but I also want her to be used to be handled

    My austrolorp chick is kinda skittish..

    And I've never raised one before. I picked her out because I know they're supposed to be very friendly birds. This chick is about 2.5 weeks old and she's much more skittish than my Cochin and Wyandotte chicks. Anyone have any experience with austrolorps? Think she'll be more friendly and calm as...

    Cochin chicks: confused about their color

    This means they'll have a few dark feathers here and there with overall very light grey right? I just assumed I'd see a few dark wing feathers. One of my wyandottes are clearly showing splash coloration and the other two are dark blue. I'm just curious about what they'll look like. I want them...

    Cochin chicks: confused about their color

    I know this happens with austrolorps. They're born with some white on them and then lose it as they get older. I hope you're right! I won't love them less, just prefer the blue color.

    Cochin chicks: confused about their color

    I just got 3 blue cochin chicks, along with 3 blue wyandottes and 1 austrolorp. They're now about 2 weeks old and their wing feathers are coming in and showing their colors! My blue Cochins are not blue though, so far at least. I read about blue not being "true" and you can get splash as well...

    cutest chicken names!

    My New Hampshire red was Jemimah, my buff orpington was butterscotch, and my easter egged was biscuit. I say was, because I gave them to a friend of mine so I could start over with baby chicks. I gotta figure out some new names soon though! I used up my favorite ones!
